I remember standing
on the corner
at midnight
Trying to get
my courage up
There was this long
lovely dancer
in a little club
downtown
I loved to watch her
do her stuff
Through the long
lonely nights
she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying
to that smoky beat
down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
In the pool halls
the hustlers
and the losers
I used to watch 'em
through the glass
Well I'd stand outside
at closing time
Just to watch her
walk on past
Unlike all the
other ladies
she looked so
young and sweet
She made her
way alone
down that
empty street
Down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
And sometimes
even now
when I'm feeling
lonely and beat
I drift back in time
and find my feet
Down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
Down on Main Street
